HOOKED explores the world of illegal drugs, meeting with pharmacologists and scientists to learn exactly what effect they have on us and exploring the social and legislative changes that have transformed (and, some would argue, created) the drug culture of the 20th century. Outspoken advocates on both sides of the "war on drugs" illuminate this polarizing issue, and fascinating accounts and artifacts illustrate the role of drugs throughout history.

This is a series looking at the 20th century history of once legal drugs and how they came to be illegal. The politics behind the changes are shown for the most part. The economic threat hemp posed to the cotton, wood pulp, and paper industries is ignored as is the economic threat to the individuals who ran those industries. The series shows the changing public attitude for and against these drugs. The free use of these drugs was once considered a Constitutional right of the American citizen. The racism behind making the drugs illegal is also shown.

This is an essential teen's guide to living with allergies.Allergies are fairly common, affecting more than 60 million Americans, or about 1 in 5 people. When people experience an allergic reaction to something, the immune system thinks the substance - for instance, food, dust, pollen, or medicines - is harmful to the body. In response, it sends off a false alarm in the form of an allergic reaction, which may occur in the eyes, nose, throat, lungs, skin, or intestinal tract. Milder reactions come in the form of slightly itchy eyes, a runny nose, itchy throat, or other uncomfortable symptoms. Severe allergic reactions, on the other hand, can be life threatening.
